Got Breast Milk?

Ok, so I think this post is hilarious! What is even more hilarious is how people are taking it so seriously. I mean, come on, its funny. Plus, the original taste test the writer was talking about was done in Vice...if you have ever read Vice, you know not to take it seriously. That being said, I would try it! How is it cannibalistic or disgusting? Its what babies drink, what you drank before you realized it would be weird to do that as an adult. It would only be cannibalistic if you were actually eating a breast. Which leads me to another point...chicken breast! Hahaha. So anyways, I drink milk, and I love it. But lets be real people, it is from a cow. Meant for baby COWS. You are indirectly drinking from a cows breast. And if you are worried about what would be in a woman's milk, think about what cows eat. They probably eat shit sometimes, when it is mixed in with all that grass or hay. Which, if you are buying non-organic, mass produced milk you really don't want to know what those cows are eating. Or all the hormones/drugs they are injected with.

How to Celebrate the Inauguration in New York City

JungMan, why would you read a postabout Obama Inauguration parties if you don't want to hear about Obama?

I think you have way too much time on your hands.....

Lucky for those of us with brains and good spirits get to celebrate Obama for at least the next 4 years! Get used to it buddy, nobody likes a party pooper.

I love this post! Power to the people! We're gonna party like this Dubya-free country has never seen!

Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'

In the summer I like a fresh watermelon salad with feta and olives, sounds strange but sooo good. In winter I like to go for a 4 bean salad with dressing.

Menu: Vegan Thanksgiving

I'm already thinking about this year's tofurkey! We'll have my parents over this year, so I think we will have all the traditional side dishes to distract them form the lack of a dead bird. I like the traditional side dishes anyway, as most of them lend themselves to being prepared vegan. Those Lemon Broiled Green Beans sound pretty good. I know my wife has thusfar found no real replacement for string beans cooked with cream of mushroom soup and durkee fried onions.

For years I went to Martha's Vineyard in August and entertained
using a cookbook I bought at a local bakery--Scottish Bakehouse
Cookbook by Isabella White. I used it until the pages came unglued
and put a rubberband around it. Julia inspired me to just use a
cookbook as a starting point and create your own style. Thanks, Elaine

Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything is the dirtiest (aka most used) cookbook in my kitchen, I always find inspiration in Tom Valenti's Soups, Stews, and One-Pot Meals.

The French Chef, of course! When we were married 38 years ago, my husband-to-be's next door neighbor gave us a Swing Way can opener and a copy of The French Chef. I have been using both all these years, but the French Chef has many more miles on it. I was 19, had never cooked and knew back then, in a very un-feminist way, that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. It worked! I love this book and always will.

Urban Italian: Simple Recipes and True Stories from a Life in Food, by Andrew Carmellini. I'm a vegetarian, but there are still plenty of recipes for me to try. I repeatedly take it out of the library. Please, someone buy me this book for Christmas!

An autographed copy of Craig Claiborne’s New York Times Cookbook. One evening after a school dance, friends descended on my parent’s home and one of them piped up, “Where’s the eggs benedict?” I popped into the kitchen and shortly produced something resembling poached eggs with Hollandaise. (One egg never made it past the side of the stove.) From that first effort, I prepared several other winning recipes like Knockwurst in beer. Fast forward 15 years and dozens of other cookbooks and I am co-author of Passport to New York Restaurants and auction correspondent for Wine Spectator.

My favorite cookbook is the 1950's edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. It has wonderful recipes for baking, especially cakes. Although there is a "revised, modern" Betty Crocker Cookbook, the 1950's edition was reissued unrevised some years ago. It's worth getting if you like real American home-style baking.

Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking - This was a life saver... I lived in an obese family and these books taught me to enjoy food that was good for me as well as cook them. The book itself helped me identify and minimize my processed fats, grains,& sweeteners

The James Beard Cookbook ~ my very first cookbook from which I learned that there was more to cooking than my mother's standard operating procedure of putting a hunk of meat under the broiler, plopping frozen vegies into pots of boiling water, and pitching potatoes into the oven to bake.

As a girl I read and reread Joy of Cooking but I also loved to read the more fantastical Bull Cookbook. (Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices) by George Leonard Herter and Berthe E. Herter. In addition to world history and culinary pratter, the book includes recipes on everything from fried snapping turtle and scandinavian fish tongues to dressing a game bird, making jerky and dandelion wine.

Pie by Ken Haedrich. Just the title alone. Also, probably the only cookbook where the photos made me say "wow, i want to make that" and not "wow, i would never want to spend all of the time to make it look that pretty."

Delia Smith Complete how to cook.
Growing up in Ireland my mother always had a flour stained, grease spattered edition in the kitchen as she cooked her latest concoctions.

I used it and practised the recipes throughout my youth, everything from how to boil an egg to how to roast a goose.

When I got my first apartment my mother gave me a brand new copy, I'm hoping one day it'll be as dog eared and impressive looking as my mother's tome to culinary experimentation.
